Chrome’s Password Manager Adds Favicons

Some of you might ask why this has to be a blog post. Is it such a big news? Well, it is not. It looks pretty nice and I thought it is worth sharing. So now, let’s see how the new password manager will look like?

I noticed this code change request today with an associated bug which had some screenshots. This does not happen that often.

Would you agree with me if I say that the new version with the favicon looks much better?

Apart from the looks, it will help us find the account / password that we are looking for a bit faster.

PS: If Safari adding support for favicon is qualifies to be a news story, this does too! #justsaying
